How to momentarily stop receiving texts without losing them?

Use Google Voice as an alternate for text messages, possibly.

Or quite simply airplane mode as suggested before, unless she's savvy enough to notice that.

Ok thanks for the suggestions I agree with you but know I d like just to solve this problem with a switch or app and enjoy my time without discussing with her about who is he or she that texts me. Any suggestion in this direction?

If you don't want to always have to discuss with her about who it is that texted you, why don't you just go into your entire contacts list and just enter information about the contact in the Notes field. If she wants to know who texted you, just tell her to tap the contact to launch the Contacts app and look in the Notes field. That way, she can just look up that information herself without having to ask you every time you get a text.
 
Ok guys. Thanks for your help. So basically there is no way to momentarily stop receiving all texts in the phone without using flight mode. At least we know that this in 2013 is still not possible.
Last option: what if I use the sms blocker feature of Go Sms Pro? If I enable it, does it allow to recover the texts after disabling it? And is there a way to select all the contacts? It looks like I have to manually select one by one. What if I whitelist one? Are all the other automatically blacklisted or is the whitelist there in order to whitelist some of the blacklisted?
thanks again
 
I'm a first time poster on here but I couldn't not reply! This is some where comical and sad! First of all, I can see why, she doesn't trust you. After all, your on here trying to figure out how to hide stuff! Lol... secondly, you start this forum suggesting it's about your "friends"... when in all truth it sounds like it's not about your friends at all.....
So here's my suggestion.... let her go and find a real man who is not willing to lie on behalf of some outside females casual conversations. If you don't have anything to hide, why hide it...... then you won't need to worry about hiding anything, problem solved!

The only thing I can think of is to deactivate notifications in your Messaging app. You will still receive messages, but no notification sound will play and the notification will not appear in the notification bar. The only way that someone will know if you received a text message is if that person goes into your Messaging app and constantly checks to see if you received any messages.



In a serious relationship, I believe you should respect and trust the other person. There should be no need to go snooping into the other person's messages even though you can. My wife and I can access each other's phones freely, but we do pry into each others messages and emails regularly.

Perhaps times have changed since I've been dating. At least in my circle of friends over the years, we don't freely access each others' emails and messages. We didn't have smartphones back then or even text each other. Still, we do use each others computers, but no one launches someone else's email program to see the message.

I agree with you. I never read my wife's messages and emails unless she asks me to.
I have never felt the need to or want for that matter.
